SUMMARY:Piedmont Style Blues Guitar Workshop with Andy Cohen
DESCRIPTION:$20 at the door (or $35 for both the workshop and the Cohen\, Ellis and Ellis house concert)\nReservations required: HouseConcerts@fssgb.org \nAndy Cohen is a virtuoso finger-style guitarist who has been described as “a walking\, talking folk-blues-roots music encyclopedia.” He grew up in a home with a piano and lots of Dixieland Jazz records. During the Sixties Folk Revival\, he got hooked on the music of Big Bill Broonzy and the Jim Kweskin Jug Band. When Andy was 16\, he heard South Carolina’s Rev. Gary Davis perform and the effect on him was profound. He has devoted his life to studying\, performing\, and promoting traditional blues and folk music of the pre-World War II era. Andy has toured solo\, as well as with Martin\, Bogan and Armstrong\, John Jackson\, Rev. Gary Davis\, Brother Daniel Womack\, Rev. Dan Smith\, Jim Brewer\, and Honeyboy Edwards. He also worked extensively with Walt and Ethel Phelps\, Big Joe Duskin\, Pigmeat Jarrett\, Etta Baker\, Big Boy Henry\, and James “Son” Thomas.  \nIn the workshop\, we will be going over a number of straightforward songs in the key of C: Freight Train\, Louis Collins\, Come Let Us March\, Gary Davis’s Candy Man\, and if we get that far\, I will teach Davis’s Buck Dance\, which is a little more complex than the others. You’ll learn how to keep your thumb going\, count while playing\, And learn how to play a scale in major and minor sixths.

SUMMARY:Andy Cohen\, Eleanor Ellis and William Lee Ellis House Concert
DESCRIPTION:$20 at the door\nReservations required: HouseConcerts@fssgb.org \nAcclaimed acoustic performers Andy Cohen\, Eleanor Ellis and William Lee Ellis return as a trio with this new album\, WHISTLIN’ PAST THE GRAVEYARD. Released on Cohen’s Riverlark label\, the ambitious project is a 21-track tour-de-force of old-time blues\, gospel\, ballads\, ragtime\, and country song that surpasses their previous high bar\, the 1993 Marimac outing\, Preachin’ in That Wilderness. \nAll three musicians have established themselves as noted artists in the folk and blues worlds\, both on stage and in the studio: Eleanor records for the Patuxent label\, Andy for Earwig Music\, and William for Yellow Dog\, where his latest solo album\, Ghost Hymns\, earned a Blues Music Awards nomination for Acoustic Blues Album of the Year. \nProduced by William Lee Ellis and River Hartley (Ghost Hymns)\, Whistlin’ is a truly unique listen\, one that fits no single musical category; rather\, it explores with finger-picked verve and joy the expansive palette of America’s musical past\, still relevant and very much alive in the sound of this remarkable trio. \nANDY COHEN: “A singularly unique figure\, Andy Cohen deserves some long overdue accolades.” – ALL MUSIC GUIDE \nELEANOR ELLIS: “A celebrated master of the country and Piedmont blues\, one of the most significant women in the acoustic genre… a torchbearer.” – LIVING BLUES \nWILLIAM LEE ELLIS: “A masterful genre-bender who sounds completely at home and thoroughly invested in whatever style he tackles.” – ACOUSTIC GUITAR

SUMMARY:Spencer LaJoye
DESCRIPTION:LaJoye is a coast-to-coast singer/songwriter and vocal loop artist with Midwest roots\, a classically-trained violinist with an inner theater kid’s love of group choreography\, and a student of Americana music with a theology degree hanging in their studio.

SUMMARY:Sara Grey and Kieron Means House Concert
DESCRIPTION:$20 at the door ($5 for students)\nReservations required: HouseConcerts@fssgb.org \nSara Grey is one of the most gifted and knowledgeable artists working in the field of traditional music. Sara’s singing is both powerful and sweet\, with a distinctive and lovely tremolo. It is a voice well suited to native American songs and ballads of Ireland and Scotland. \nIt is not Sara’s lovely voice alone that makes her one of the most popular singers on the folk scene; on many of her songs Sara accompanies herself by frailing a five string banjo and\, when playing dance tunes\, it is obvious why she is regarded as one of the foremost exponents of the clawhammer style. As well as singing and playing\, Sara is well known for her storytelling – specializing in stories from New England where she grew up learning many of her stories from her father. \n“She is one of a select band of performers who still breathe life into traditional ballads.” Vic Smith\, Folk Roots\n“Sara Grey has quietly and powerfully taken over the mantle of premier interpreter of American traditional music.” Tor Jonassen\, WRD \nSara grew up in New Hampshire but has lived in North Carolina\, Ohio\, Montana\, New York\, Pennsylvania\, Arizona\, Wales\, Scotland and England. As a youngster in North Carolina she developed a love for old time songs and banjo music. She cites Kyle Creed as the chief influence on her understated\, syncopated clawhammer banjo style. She has now been performing professionally for more than 30 years. \nKieron Means is a singer primarily of traditional songs but also of contemporary songs and guitar player of great merit. He has a great rapport with an audience and has an exceptional professionalism for a young performer. His voice is as smooth as silk\, rich and mellow and he sings to his audience not in spite of them. \nKieron is the son of the traditional singer Sara Grey and music journalist Andrew Means\, one time writer for Melody Maker. He was born in the United States and grew up in Britain gaining a great love of the music of both traditions as well as the contemporary scene. He has become a performer of traditional songs from the US and from the UK and many of the contemporary songs he sings he has written himself. \nHe has toured in the States and often performed with Sara Grey. In 2000 he has performed at Whitby and Wadebridge festivals where he was received with much acclaim. His first CD has received much praise with air play on Travelling Folk and Mr Anderson’s Fine Tunes both on radio Scotland. An article on him will shortly be appearing in Folk Roots magazine.

SUMMARY:Rachel Sumner & Traveling Light
DESCRIPTION:Rachel Sumner is no stranger to the stage. She spent her early career on the bluegrass circuit\, singing and writing with the genre-bending Boston group Twisted Pine. Since setting out on her own\, Sumner’s songs have been critically acclaimed\, winning the Lennon Award in the folk category of the 2021 John Lennon Songwriting Contest for her song “Radium Girls (Curie Eleison);” earning her a spot in the Kerrville New Folk Competition; and being chosen four consecutive years by WBUR/NPR as one of the top Massachusetts entries in the Tiny Desk Competition. \nSince winning the 2023 Thomas Point Beach Bluegrass Festival band competition\, Rachel Sumner & Traveling Light have been captivating audiences throughout the northeast and beyond. Sumner’s lyric-forward writing and penchant for snaking chord progressions demand something far beyond folk conventions\, highlighting the acrobatic range of her brilliant bandmates Kat Wallace (fiddle) and Mike Siegel (upright bass). \nHer new album\, “Heartless Things\,” marks a significant evolution in Sumner’s studio sound\, stepping out from the acoustic string band framework of her debut album. This new record blends elements of chamber-folk and indie pop with Sumner’s love of Appalachian balladry and bluesy hooks\, resulting in an immersive setting that highlights the top-notch narrative writing we’ve come to expect.
